Chapter 209 Emotional Disguise

Yvonne sat in the hospital room, gazing tenderly at Victoria, who lay on the

bed.

The atmosphere was especially oppressive, the white walls stark and pale. under the warm lighting.

It seemed as though the entire room was shrouded in a faint sadness.

The curtains were tightly drawn, blocking out the sunlight. The room was filled with the scent of medicine and disinfectant, making the air heavy. and stifling.

Victoria lay on the bed, despite the careful attention she received, her expression remained tired and uneasy.

Her gaze occasionally drifted towards the door, her heart filled with displeasure at her son’s absence.

She had undergone surgery three days ago, and during this time, her son had not reached out, making her mood even heavier.

However, seeing Yvonne by her side seemed to alleviate some of her inner

discontent.

Victoria tightly held Yvonne’s hand, a silent gesture of comfort, filled with

endless concern and reliance.

Sensing Victoria’s emotions, Yvonne softly said, “The most important thing for you now is to recover. Don’t worry about anything else.

He has some important matters to attend to and can’t visit you, but he has called Dad. There’s no need to worry.”

Her words were gentle yet firm, her hand gently stroking the back of Victoria’s, trying to convey.comfort and strength.

Victoria’s eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

She recalled the first time she met Yvonne, in the hospital.

Back then, Hannah was ill, and Yvonne’s frail figure looked particularly fresh in the hospital room.

Despite the oppressive family situation, she always maintained a sense of calm and resilience.

Her eyes were clear, and she responded to others‘ concerns with polite. and gentle smiles.

This behavior made Victoria feel a pang of heartache.

Later, at John’s funeral, Yvonne showed extraordinary strength.

She handled every detail of the funeral and greeted each guest, giving everyone a return gift.

Though young, she appeared mature and composed, her demeanor reflecting her inner strength.

Victoria was deeply moved and saddened seeing her this way.

Such a young girl, yet so strong, holding up the entire family.

When the two families sat together to discuss the future, Yvonne’s words, Can I have Benson?” became an indelible memory for Victoria.

At that time, Yvonne’s eyes were filled with anticipation and shyness, her thoughts pure and genuine.

Seeing her like that deepened Victoria’s affection for her.

She felt Yvonne’s deep affection for her son, which brought her both comfort and sadness.

Victoria gradually let go of her sadness, not wanting to drag herself and Yvonne into sorrow.

She gently advised, “Yvonne, you’re so busy with the company. You don’t have to stay with me all the time, go handle your matters.”

Her voice was full of comfort, hoping Yvonne could focus on her work without worrying about her.

Yvonne shook her head, responding gently, “It’s not urgent. I’ve arranged

everything at the company. I’ll go check on things once you’re discharged, it’s really no trouble.”

Her tone was firm and caring, showing her deep affection and friendship

for Victoria.

The afternoon sun slanted between the tall buildings of Caesar Plaza, casting long shadows on the ground, creating a particularly peaceful

scene.

Victoria was finally discharged, but Yvonne’s mood did not relax.

She didn’t return to the old house as planned but went straight to Caesar

Plaza.

An inexplicable premonition drove her to immediately deal with her work.

After a busy afternoon, Yvonne gathered her documents and went to the underground parking lot to retrieve her car.

The mall, having already announced its closure, made the underground parking lot even quieter, with only a few scattered cars parked there, the dim lights giving a cold feeling.

The faint light reflected on the smooth concrete surface, spreading an unsettling tension.

Suddenly, Yvonne’s gaze was drawn to a figure.

Benson was leaning against her car, wearing a black coat, holding a lit

cigarette.

The red flame flickered between his slender fingers, surrounded by a thin veil of smoke, adding a touch of mystery and solitude to him.

His face looked particularly deep and handsome in the smoke, his gentle. yet intense eyes making Yvonne’s heart race.

Megan also noticed Benson and quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving Yvonne alone in the chilly parking lot.

The surrounding silence became heavier, the air filled with invisible pressure and anticipation.

Benson finally flicked away his cigarette butt, and at that moment, Yvonne saw a hint of determination flash across his face.

He began to walk towards Yvonne slowly, each

Stop steady and firm.

His footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot, resonating like a drumbeat in Yvonne’s heart.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions, a mix of anxiety about the unknown future and anticipation for this sudden encounter.

As the distance between them shortened, Yvonne felt an indescribable

tension and excitement rising within her.

Benson’s pace slowed gradually and finally stopped a few steps away

from Yvonne.

Up close, Yvonne could clearly feel Benson’s unique presence, a familiar sensation that once made her heart flutter now surged back, making her nearly forget to breathe.

The air was filled not only with the lingering scent of smoke but also the uncuttable emotional ties between them.

Yvonne looked up, meeting Benson’s gaze. At that moment, time seemed

to freeze.

Benson’s eyes were full of affection and determination, seemingly trying to convey something to Yvonne.

Yvonne, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, unsure how to respond to this unexpected encounter.

In the profound silence, the two stood, staring at each other.

Everything around them seemed to fade away, leaving only their breathing and beating hearts.

Time seemed to stop indefinitely.

Her brows furrowed slightly, instinctively taking back.

Her heart was fi” with contradictions and confusion, not knowing how

to face Benson.

At that moment, Benson reached out and grabbed her wrist, his grip firm and somewhat rough, pulling her into his embrace.

Yvonne felt his warmth and urgency, her body pressed against his chest, her heart racing.

Her face showed a hint of surprise and bewilderment, but she was quickly engulfed by his kiss.

Benson lowered his head and captured her lips, the fierce kiss making Yvonne feel dizzy.

His lips ravaged hers like a storm, pouring out all his longing during their time apart.

Yvonne’s body instinctively leaned back, allowing him to dominate her lips. and teeth.

Her breath became rapid, her thoughts chaotic and tangled from the sudden kiss.

Yvonne’s world seemed to turn upside down at that moment, her rationality swallowed by the intense emotions

She was completely engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions.
